Gross left ventricular voltage with preexcitation in isolated left ventricular non-compaction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 30 years man presented with symptoms of heart failure with prior history of pulmonary tuberculosis, on routine investigation he was found to have gross left ventricular voltage on the electrocardiogram and evidence of ventricular pre-excitation. His echocardiogram confirmed the diagnosis of left ventricular non-compaction. The aetiopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic criteria and review of literature of this rare entity is discussed here.

Isolated left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy associated with ventricular preexcitation: a case report.
Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (ILVNC) is one of the most misclassified cardiomyopathies. It is caused by failure of normal embryonic development of the myocardium from loosely arranged muscle fibers to the mature compacted form of myocardium, but it seems that etiology is not exclusively congenital. Diagnosis of ILVNC is mostly missed because of lack of awareness and knowledge. The r...

Background: There is conflicting data about prognostic implication of electrocardiographic (ECG) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with first non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to examine the association of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on admission electrocardiogram with adverse outcomes in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: In the present study, ...

Isolated non compaction of left ventricular myocardium is a rare cardiomyopathy due to abnormalendomyocardialmorphogenesis. The incidence of non compaction cardiomyopathy in the general population has been estimated at 0.05% to 0.25% per year. NCCMP is a heart muscle disorder that is still little known among physicians and was first described in 1984 by engberding and bender. Echocardiograph...
متن کاملIsolated left ventricular non-compaction in Africa: elucidating myths
We read with great interest the article by Falase et al. in the November 2012 issue of this journal. They stated that there are no documented cases of left ventricular non-compaction in Africa. Furthermore, they propose that this is due to a lack of awareness of this condition among African cardiologists. The purpose of this letter is to highlight that this statement is not entirely accurate. I...
متن کاملCASE REPORT EVects of carvedilol on left ventricular function, mass, and scintigraphic findings in isolated left ventricular non-compaction
A four month old infant with isolated left ventricular non-compaction was treated with carvedilol. Haemodynamic studies and various types of imaging—including echocardiography, radiographic angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and single photon emission computed tomography with Tl, I-â-methyliodophenylpentadecanoic acid (BMIPP), and I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)— were performed before an...
